HEGGSY Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 4. Do you want them? Fvcking Easter eggs I'll keep one though. Happy Easter.
Jon the Hat Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 None, wife an daughter are in Australia. Might get one from my Mum later going round there for lunch! Happy Easter and that.
Rincewind Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 None and I am not going up to the Lake District to see if my mum has one for me. Not bothered anyway. could buy myself one after Easter when the shops are trying to get rid of them at reduced price.

Guest Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 Generally this forum is full on anti-religionists but then you talk about Easter eggs and wish Happy Easter (and Christmas). I'd like a bit of consistency.

I'd like a bit of consistency. The sentiments of wishing someone Happy Easter and/or Christmas I think is more of a 'hope you enjoy your holidays' rather than I hope you find redemption in Jeebus, and glorify his birth/rebirth. I myself as a Irish Catholic will not utter such hypocrisy.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 none. first year ever going home to see the parents later though so I haven't abandoned all hope just yet. They'll be value for some mini eggs at least surely!
Guest Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 I think you`ll find that the origins of Christmas and Easter are Pagan. Christmas as in the birth of Christ? Easter as in the rebirth of Christ? Whatever!
FantasticMrFuchs Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 None, I did just buy myself a scotch egg from co-op though. None, but you`ve reminded me that i`v got a bar of this in the fridge. Oooooo whats that and where did you buy it?? That looks like my kind of chocolate!
Raw Dykes Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 Generally this forum is full on anti-religionists but then you talk about Easter eggs and wish Happy Easter (and Christmas). I'd like a bit of consistency. You don't have to believe a bronze-age fantasy book is actually non-fiction to enjoy a day off and giving and receiving presents. You'd be mad to miss out on the holidays when there's no need. Besides, as WTF BBQ said, the Christians stole those holidays in the first place. Sod Jesus, give me my chocolate eggs!
Raw Dykes Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 Christmas as in the birth of Christ? Easter as in the rebirth of Christ? Whatever! You might want to do a bit of research. Brace yourself.
I am Rod Hull Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 None, I did just buy myself a scotch egg from co-op though. Oooooo whats that and where did you buy it?? That looks like my kind of chocolate! From a little sweet shop in Swadlincote, only £1.
Guest Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 You might want to do a bit of research. Brace yourself. I'm pretty sure that I don't. Just because there were pagan festivals of midwinter and the such doesn't make Christmas a pagan festival. what it means is that most people stopped celebrating the pagan midwinter/and others festival and started celebrating a new festival called Christmas which they believed celebrated the birth of christ - as many of the previous pagan followers were transformed into the new Christian religion following. Saying that Christmas and Easter are pagan festivals is so moronic that I can't imagine anyone will be stupid enough to argue the fact. It's like suggesting that when your grandmother died she became your newly born daughter/son. Except that this second concept I've suggested is materially more possible due to the finite world we leave in and the never ending transformation of energy into different forms.
Guest Posted 8 April 2012 Posted 8 April 2012 And before the odd one or two start telling me about the pagan festival celebrating other Gods and evergreen trees etc... Don't waste your time. These are as fanciful as Christmas as far as truth goes. My original point simply concerned the hypocrisy of celebrating a feast that you don't believe in (and take pleasure deriding). I'm pretty sure no -one here worships Nimrod or whomever the earlier feasts were in glory of either.
